Update on Thursday: The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for 2 to 4 inches of snow. The advisory includes Adams, Lebanon and York counties.

The advisory is in effect from 1 a.m. Friday to 1 a.m. Saturday, the weather service says.

Slippery road conditions are anticipated.

"The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute," the advisory states.

Reported on Wednesday:

Another snowstorm is heading for south-central Pennsylvania that could deliver 1 to 3 inches.

The snow is predicted to arrive late Thursday night and continue through Friday evening, said Tom Kines, AccuWeather.com meteorologist.

Travel is expected to be slippery by the afternoon and evening commute, he said.

The National Weather Service is calling for 1 to 2 inches for both York and Lebanon counties, meteorologist Sonya Lewis said.

At least one school district is already warning that schedules could be impacted. Dover Area School District is asking parents to be prepared for a possible Flexible Instruction Day or a 2-hour delay on Friday, according to a Facebook post. If the district calls for a 2-hour delay and then has to close, it will become a traditional snow day.

The snow comes after several inches fell Monday into Tuesday earlier in the week.

Temperatures this weekend are expected to remain in the 20s to lower 30s, but more mild air is predicted to arrive next week when the mercury could reach into the 40s, Kines said.

South-central Pennsylvania is expected to see more snow Thursday into Friday.
